<P class="title"><A NAME="HELPSwOL"></A>Switch <B>-ONI</B> - allow potentially
incompatible names<hr></P>

<p>While NTFS file system permits file names with trailing spaces
and dots, also as reserved device names, a lot of Windows programs fail to
process such names correctly. If this switch is not specified,
WinRAR removes trailing spaces and dots, if any, from file names when
extracting. It also inserts the underscore character in the beginning of
reserved device names, such as aux.</p>

<p>Specify this switch if you need to extract such names as is.
It might be associated with compatibility or even security risks.</p>

<p>Switch -oni is the command line equivalent of "Allow potentially
incompatible names" option in <a href="HELPExtractAdvOptions.htm">extraction
dialog</a>.</p>
